AI’s facelift fails to go down well with designers

As part of a rejuvenation strategy, AI has got a new livery for the new aircraft it’s due to take delivery of from April.

“People don’t read the names of airlines, but identify them by their tails,” says S Venkat, executive director (finance) and spokesman for the airline. “This is why we have decided to place the Centaur, the symbol we have always been identified with, right on the tails of our new planes.”
